Top tips to maintain your trainers:
1. Get the right shoes for the conditions you are training in. If you are going to run off-road, invest in some good trail shoes that will give you grip and support - and waterproofing.
2. Clean your shoes. That doesn't mean throw them in the washing machine. Clean off the mud with warm water to prevent the rubber from perishing.
3. Dry your shoes. If the soles are soaking, take them out and try them separately. Stuff the shoe with newspaper and remove it after 2-3 hours. Do not dry them in the tumbledryer or on the radiator as it will affect the glue that holds the shoe together. Allow them to dry naturally.
4. Store them in a dry area with plenty of air circulation, preferably at room temperature.
This is an example of my pretty knackered trainers!
What state are your trainers in and when did you last get some new ones?
